On the Sofa for YouTube

About

Control YouTube with just your mouse—and keep your other hand free for snacks.

On the Sofa for YouTube adds a ghost control band at the top of the video and an optional guide below it. Scroll the mouse wheel to seek, change playback speed, or adjust volume without reaching for YouTube's tiny controls. Perfect when you're watching from the couch.
